Contemporary Japanese Fashion
the Gene Sherman Collection

#

In 2009 the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney received an outstanding collection of contemporary Japanese fashion from Dr Gene Sherman. Gene’s keen eye for avant-garde Japanese fashion led to a generous donation of over sixty garments and accessories by leading contemporary Japanese designers Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons and Sydney’s Akira Isogawa.
